Study of serum level of vitamin D2 (25 OH Vitamin D) in young stroke
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Applied Medical Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
The aim was to compare the serum concentration of 25–hydroxy-vitamin D level in ischemic cerebrovascular disease patients between (15-45) years of age. 50 patients who were admitted with Acute Ischemic Stroke between 15 to 45 yrs of age, within one month of first stroke were studied. Detailed evaluation for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, smoking, lipid profile, ECG, Echocardiography and Serum Vitamin D2 level was done. Diagnosis of ischemic stroke was confirmed by imaging studies of the brain. Out of 50 patients studied 36 were male and 14 female. Majority 70% of patients were having Vitamin D2 levels less than 15, followed by 24% were within 15 to 30, minimum 6% were having levels more than 30. Mean vitamin D2 level in our study was 14.24 ng/ml. Thus, we concluded that Vitamin D deficiency is a risk factor for stroke, thus early detection and proper treatment may help preventing ischemic cerebrovascular disease.
